- All true, and all of which should set your "scam alarm" clanging off the wall.
- They are pressuring you to make an investment with no chance to consider it,
- look at competitors, or talk to previous customers. There's a very good
- reason for that.

- I know a number of people who joined UCC and similar groups. I think one
- of them felt he got his money's worth, and that was because he was building
- a house and used UCC to purchase all his appliances and furniture. And
- even then he was very disgruntled by the poor selection, inability to see
- a product before buying, etc.
-
- My advice to people who are considering UCC & similar deals: save your
- time and energy. Don't even bother going to the presentation.
